Kenny Roberts, the motorcycle world champion, will make an appearance at this
summer's Goodwood Festival of Speed.

"King" Kenny Roberts, the triple motorcycle world champion, will ride up the hill at this year's Festival of Speed, for which the Telegraph is media partner.

The legendary racer will ride his 1980 championship-winning Yamaha YZR500 and his 1981 YZR750 all weekend. Expect plenty of wheelies and other tricks from the ex-dirt racer who always pushed his skill to the limits and led the US success in the European-dominated road racing world championships.

* Tickets for the Goodwood Festival of Speed, which takes place from June 28-July 1, must be booked in advance and can be purchased from the Goodwood website. Prices for an adult ticket start at £39 with young person (aged 13-22) tickets roughly half price and children under 13 free (but you'll need to order them a free child's ticket online).
